Chapter 103 Reunion in the Capital
The man who saved her at the horse farm last time?
Wei Chizheng.
Xie Nanzhi was in a good mood, but when this person was mentioned, her calm heart seemed to be stirred by a ripple in the breeze.
Since Pei Jingchuan was executed and Wei Chizheng took her to the hospital, she seemed to have vanished into thin air and never appeared again.
During this time, Xie Nanzhi sent a message to Wei Chizheng, only to find that he had blocked her.
Xie Nanzhi had considered that once Pei Jingchuan's matter was settled and their cooperation ended, she and Wei Chizheng would most likely have no further interaction in the future.
But she never imagined that this man would be so heartless as to block her directly.
Xie Nanzhi's face was somewhat pale, and her beautiful brows furrowed slightly. "I really have no relationship with him at all, not even as friends. We've lost contact with each other now."
David was stunned, his face filled with disbelief.
How could that be?
The way that man looked nervous at the time, and the way he looked at Xie Nanzhi, showed that he definitely cared about her a lot; he couldn't have been wrong.
However, judging from Xie Nanzhi's expression, she didn't seem to be lying.
David jokingly changed the subject, saying, "I misjudged her this time, but a lady as outstanding as Namgyal is bound to have many suitors."
Then, Catherine's eyes lit up, and she said eagerly, "Nanzhi, I have a relative who works in finance in the capital. If there's a chance, I'll introduce you to him."
Xie Nanzhi's smile froze.
Are Westerners starting to become matchmakers now?
Xie Nanzhi didn't want to directly refuse their kindness, so she smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.
——
After the dinner, Xie Nanzhi got into her car and immediately called her senior brother, who was far away in Beijing.
The eldest brother's name is Yun Zhongzi. He is forty years old this year, the oldest among all the brothers, and also the most principled and unpredictable in temperament.
Previously, the second senior brother wanted to learn painting from the eldest senior brother, but the eldest senior brother dismissed him by saying that he didn't have the talent. The second senior brother kept pestering him, but the eldest senior brother still wouldn't give in.
Even if Xie Nanzhi wanted to use connections, it would probably be difficult.
However, since she had already promised, she should do her best.
Xie Nanzhi dialed the number with trepidation, but Yun Zhongzi answered quickly, "Sixth Brother, is there something you need?"
Every time Xie Nanzhi heard this derogatory term, she would dig her toes into the ground.
She had complained to her senior brother a few times, asking if he could call her junior sister like the other senior brothers or just call her by her name. He readily agreed, but forgot about it within two minutes.
Xie Nanzhi tried to struggle, "Senior Brother, call me by my name."
Yun Zhongzi readily agreed, "Okay, by the way, what did Lao Liu want to see me about?"
Xie Nanzhi's forehead was covered in a dark line; she was completely distraught.
Well, at least she wasted her breath.
Getting back to the point, Xie Nanzhi said, "Senior Brother, I have a friend who wants to study at your Danqing Academy. Could you pull some strings?"
Without a second thought, Yun Zhongzi said, "Okay, bring her over."
Forehead.
You agreed so easily?
Who said the eldest brother is hard to talk to? He's such an easy person to communicate with.
Then, Yun Zhongzi said, "Sixth brother, I just happened to find a very rare pigment in the Ailao Mountains this time. I'll show you something new."
The eldest brother is a painting fanatic. All the pigments he uses in his paintings are purely natural. He has even been to the Ailao Mountains several times, just for a mineral that can be extracted to produce a unique blue color.
It's common knowledge how dangerous the Ailao Mountains are, so some people in the circle have given him the nickname "Cloud Madman." Sometimes, his senior brothers would joke about it like that.
Xie Nanzhi thought for a moment. With things in Hong Kong settled, she should relax a bit. She would send Catherine to the capital and visit her senior brother.
Xie Nanzhi readily agreed, "Okay."
They hit it off immediately, and Xie Nanzhi promptly replied to Catherine's message.
Catherine was overjoyed and couldn't help but express her love to her over the phone. In the end, the two agreed to set off the day after tomorrow.
Xie Nanzhi told Wang Shufen about her trip to the capital and offered to take her with her, but Wang Shufen refused.
She said she was too old to travel far.
Wang Shufen didn't want to go, and Xie Nanzhi didn't force her. However, she was usually alone at home, which was really boring, so Xie Nanzhi decided to enroll her in a senior university so that her life would be more fulfilling.
Before they knew it, it was time to go to the capital. David took Catherine to the airport and waited for them to pass through security before leaving.
David still had work in the port city and couldn't accompany Catherine. He had been a little worried about his wife going alone, but when he learned that Xie Nanzhi would also be going, all his worries disappeared.
During the four-hour journey, the two had many in-depth discussions about painting, and before they knew it, they had arrived in Beijing.
As the two women dragged their suitcases out of the airport, they saw a strikingly handsome man waving at them and then striding over.
The man hugged Catherine, then took the suitcase from her hands, his deep blue eyes looking at Xie Nanzhi, "Auntie, aren't you going to introduce this beautiful lady?"
Catherine immediately pulled Xie Nanzhi aside and proudly introduced her, "Amanda, whom I mentioned to you on the phone, has the Chinese name Nanzhi. Isn't she very beautiful?"
The man was of mixed race, with striking features and blue eyes, which gave Xie Nanzhi a good first impression.
The man took the initiative to greet her, "Hello, Nanzhi, my name is Lu Zeyu."
Xie Nanzhi smiled gracefully and said, "Hello, I am Nanzhi."
Catherine's eyes lingered on the two of them, then she gave Lu Zeyu a look, "Xiaoyu, hurry up and help Nanzhi with her things."
Lu Zeyu then came to his senses and immediately went to help Xie Nanzhi with her suitcase.
Xie Nanzhi instinctively refused, "No need, really no need to be so polite."
Lu Zeyu smiled, his eyebrows curving upwards. "As a gentleman, it's not right for a lady to carry things. Miss Nan, you don't need to be so polite with me."
Unable to refuse Lu Zeyu, Xie Nanzhi had no choice but to hand him her luggage. "Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Lu Zeyu put their luggage in the trunk. After Xie Nanzhi got into the car, she roughly guessed that the relative Catherine mentioned during dinner that day was Lu Zeyu.
On the way to the hotel, Xie Nanzhi learned from Catherine that Lu Zeyu was her sister's son, and that her sister had been married in China for almost thirty years, and Lu Zeyu was their only son.
It's clear that Catherine was intentionally trying to bring them together, praising Xie Nanzhi so much along the way that even Xie Nanzhi herself felt embarrassed.
We arrived at the hotel quickly.
Catherine went to stay at her sister's house temporarily, and she was the only one who got off the bus.
The enthusiastic Lu Zeyu took her luggage from the trunk. "Miss Nan, I'll take you upstairs before I leave."
Xie Nanzhi: "That's too much trouble. I can go upstairs by myself."
Lu Zeyu was quite stubborn and insisted on seeing her off. "You are my aunt's friend, so you are my friend too. Miss Nan, you really don't need to be so polite with me. Let's go."
With that, Lu Zeyu walked into the hotel first.
With no other option, Xie Nanzhi could only follow in his footsteps.
After checking in, the two chatted and laughed as they entered the elevator.
At that moment, the man who had just come downstairs from the direction of the Chinese restaurant stood in the magnificent lobby, his deep gaze fixed on their backs.
